Excitement for next season...
Who has it?
Disappointed as I am about relegation (and I haven't sulked for as long as I thought I would) I'm really looking forward to it. Funnily enough, the last time that I was excited about a new season was the one just gone, but I've got every confidence that it will be a bit better.
Prior to that, it was more out of duty for most of the past decade, with a sense of apathy among the fans and the whole club really. The opaquness of the owners and the constant uncertainty over what looked like a gloomy future was depressing. I don't think that relegation has any merits (we could have had a reset and a regroup in the Championship from a greater position of strength) but with the plans for the future, for the existing ground, the players that will go and the players that will join (hopefully with Tony as manager) I can't help feeling excited again.
